If you have been following these shows, you will find that earlier, the shows used to be very civil, judges will behave nicely to each other, they will comment on the performance, share some anecdotes ...these days..well, it's better I don't try to describe how it is these days.

The difference between the shows then and now is that now the judges create drama by praising all the contestants regardless of talent, and fighting with each other. The remarkable thing about some of the early episodes of C2005 was the way they would rip into people. Someone slipping on a sur was tanamount to heresy or something.

The episode that I took that screen cap from - there were a few guys who just took a brutal beating. But given the look on Himesh's face when he was listening to them, I'm thinking it was probably justified.

In any case, we all know that Jatin-Lalit were on C2005, right? They was mean. They were taken off the show when the last of their competitors was eliminated -- which was actually pretty early on.

You know what that means, right? With Bappida only having Sumedha remaining, there's a good chance we'll be seeing the last of his bleeng bleeng pretty soon. All of the other gharaanas have at least competitor that is going to be there for a bit longer (Ismail = Amanat/Poonam, depending on who you ask; Himesh = Aneek; V-S = Raja).

I think aspi had said in one of his comments that he is traveling this weekend. Manish, you are the detective, man! Can you figure out if the anon posts are a ruse on Aspi's part (with a nice alibi of travel) or should we really duck when the "diaper" is thrown??

Its anon not Aspi and Happy Birthday Megan. Aspi seriously your blogs are entertaining. But how come no comment on yesterday's Nautanki by Himass (norrowed). He tries to play all these kiddish and irritating stunts of marking Raja down and praising Onik to the sky even for very mediocre perfmcs. PS: Aspi paid me to write this comment

All right, I am back home and enjoyed those comments precisely because it shows how little respect everyone has for me. This I find to be very endearing.

I watched T20 (need to post on that), that super boring pre-Bips II3 *and* Friday's SRGMP. But once I get caught up with life, I'll post on all those and hopefully you will join me in making fun of (not to mention praising) the shows.

Manish, I can't tell from the IPs because there are too many hits to sort through. Unless you know something I can't. But I'd be happy to open up my sitemeter to you if you'd like to prod around.

Not that I want to know because I know all the Anons are in jest - which is perfect. A hot cup of cutting chai would impress me more than panties in any case :) and would keep me safe from the wrath of the Drift Memsaab.

Welcome back, Aspi. Yr blog has become quite the hotspot :) ---- seems to have reached the tipping point!

Can't wait for yr post on SRGMP this week. The sleazy Himass show has dipped to new lows! I so wish someone could slap a sexual harassment suit on Himass on Sumedha's behalf. The poor girl does not deserve to jerked around (quite literally on stage!) like this.

How could I, oh..how could I commit this blasphemy - How could I miss this whacky place. Will post my comments in a bit - esp. about the sicko called Himesh (someone called him besharmiya) -- but carry on Aspi...way to go!!!

He's never gonna leave srgmp everrr. I swear my idea's much better, how about we wait outside srgmp and then make him inhale a fainting gas, then carry his body and drop him off a remote island with barbed wire fence with lifetime supply of roti, topi and mills and boon romance novels

Someone on another forum was like "himesh can't read..he aint smart enuff for mills and boon"

in that case we'll have to find a solar powered portable dvd player and TV and Mary Kate and Ashley DVD collection...

just one thought why cant Sumedha publicly (and politely) say that she is not interested - I dont think the show coordinators will object. And for Himass yes he definitely needs to go - he is just after Raja's life - becos he wants Onik as np one. May Raja can make him smell the faintaing gas or true Hindi movies style take a hankie and place it around Himass' nose from behind.

By the by - Megan, I have so many questions to ask you, I don't even know where to start. Of course, you'd probably be like wtf, who is this chick?

In any case - one sure way to get rid of Himanshu is to get rid of his chela. Then he would be out of the show and not move forward with judging because there's no one in his gharana. Shall we launch a large-scale op to get rid of Aneek? What say you?

Thx Aspi, will surely come back to post my comments on our very own Him-mess Besharmiya. But first I have to be able to sit back and write; right now I am ROTF laughing my guts out - this place is relentlessly funny. Keep up guys; am loving every moment...err...every post here.
